    I’m a SAHM for over 9yrs now. Our daughter has significant special needs, so I do her therapies and homeschool her.

    It can be HARD always being home. But there are also MANY beautiful things about it too. I try and focus on THOSE things and it really helps me.

    I cling to flexiblity and grace in this life. Meaning, we can flow with how the day goes and to not set too many expectations in myself. So maybe I workout in the morning, maybe when she naps, maybe it’s just something small. But I do find time for myself because that’s just as important as everyone else in the family. It’s nothing major, but it’s always SOMETHING.
